EXTRACT. A part of a writing. In general this is not evidence, because the
whole of the writing may explain the part extracted, so as to give it a
different sense; but sometimes extracts from public books are evidence, as
the extracts from the registers of births, marriages and burials, kept
according to law, when the whole of the matter has been extracted which
relates to the cause or matter in issue.
